Culture and Exchanging Vows

Guest Blogger: Chris Manganaro When people get married, their beliefs and cultures can sometimes clash. Along with compromises made over dinner and smaller life changes, there are bigger things that must be worked out. These things tend to do with religion and such and are only made more complicated when children are involved. It is but one obstacle to making a marriage work. It all starts when we meet someone and try to establish what they want in life. It begins right away on the first date. The only problem is making sure to keep things in mind. In Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss, and Greece by Patricia Volonakis Davis, we are introduced to Patricia and her own failed marriage. In it we are exposed to just how things like differing cultures can affect relationships and marriage. In the beginning of the book, right from childhood, Davis experiences how differing cultures lead to alienation and beliefs which do not coincide with the norm. She develops relationships more easily with those she can identify with due to the fact that she is Italian-American. This stays with her for a large part of her life and is also the reason why she ends up with Gregori, her first husband, because he is Greek and lives in America. Through her description of her childhood, Davis is able to show the differences in her life from others. We see the way her family works as well as her beliefs. One of the beliefs mentioned many times throughout the memoir is the idea of “the evil eye.” There is a moment in the book where the rules of “the evil eye” is even broken down. It is fascinating just how much there is to this belief and how strongly Davis is affected by it. Family is a big part of how culture affects marriage. Many times Davis struggles with her family and that of Gregori’s. Whether it is because of religion such as when her son is born or death rituals like when Gregori’s father passes, we see the many differences expressed and even questioned. By the end of the memoir, we end up questioning many of these things along with Davis. These traditions are shown to be revered, but also not always practical. Davis specifically focuses on their effects on her relationships, for better or worse.

The Fusion of Cuisine

Book Review by Guest Blogger Chris Manganaro The idea of fusing two different genres of food together is fascinating. While it may not always seem or sound delicious, it can be shocking to taste these amalgamations come together into an amazing new taste. When one gets married, they try to combine two completely different people into one working partnership. In The Gastronomy of Marriage: A Memoir of Food and Love by Michelle Maisto, the author finds herself constantly striving to find the right combination of components to make her life, and soon to be marriage, work. It is interesting to see Maisto and her fiancé, Rich, try to work out their meals throughout the book. Everyone knows how it is to try to figure out what to have for dinner each night, yet their interactions have specific complications that may not affect everyone. For instance, Maisto is not exactly vegetarian or anything, at least she doesn't describe it as such, but she does not eat meat. Rich on the other hand does and is very picky about what type of meals will be "filling" in his opinion. On top of this, he has a sensitive stomach that cannot take too much tomato sauce. Alright, so really, there are probably many people who can understand these types of issues, but they are presented well. Despite the fact that Maisto struggles through these talks with Rich every day, she still enjoys it even late in the game. This is probably important to her marriage considering Rich seems rather uninterested and frankly, a little annoying at times. People don't think about it, but food is a very important bonding experience between human beings. It is only a shame that Maisto never manages any sort of fusion cuisine between her own heritage, Italian, with riches Chinese background. This is where things could have been more interesting in the book. Rather than combining, there is a lot of compromise between the two. This is also important, though, as marriage needs compromise. In the end, Maisto's book uses the idea of creation and combining in different ways to make a point about marriage. Maisto, being unmarried right up till the end of her memoir, does not seem to reach every conclusion, but she may be on her way.

Best Places To Visit In Italy

From the Vineyard...

Guest Blogger: Chris Manganaro
Family businesses nowadays are far less common than they were in the past. It used to be that all over the world children would help out their parents on the farm or in the store in order to take over for them when they were gone. It was a nice security blanket for families. Even now there are families lucky enough to have this, but just as in the past, sometimes these are opportunities that are not taken advantage of.
In the book Passion on the Vine: A Memoir of Food, Wine, and Family in the Heart of Italy by Sergio Esposito, the topic of family businesses is brought up a few times in his narrative about his growing passion for wine. As a man who believes in tradition, he seems to believe strongly in the idea of children inheriting the family business. He even wants his son to have a love of wine. He does not force the idea down the readers throat, but rather subtly suggests it through a few situations that he brings up in his narrative.
One such situation is that of a family who owns a vineyard and whose daughter decides to go off to college. She never took too much interest in the work, yet decided to take over the business after graduating after all, rather than see her family get rid of all they had worked for. On the other side of this is a story of a family in which the son always wanted to continue the work on the family farm and decided to give up on continuing his education in order to do so. Esposito relates these cases in such a way that he is not necessarily pushing his view, but rather appreciating the results of the stories he has heard. The way he does this is how he tends to write throughout the book. It is a slightly detached way of writing, but it actually does a lot more in the long run than fully involving himself in everything. As with wine, it helps to develop the flavor of the book. Esposito does a wonderful job of demonstrating the beauty of the family business.
